Description

Leave Can Tho behind and journey deep into the Mekong Delta’s protected wetlands on this peaceful eco-tour. Drift through quiet canals and mangrove forests on a traditional sampan, where bird calls echo over the water and native wildlife thrives. Climb a 25-meter tower for panoramic views of the wetland forest and seasonal rice fields. Choose between a gentle forest walk or a second boat ride through the still waters. After exploring nature, visit a traditional bamboo craft village established in the 1950s. Learn about local weaving techniques passed down for generations — and even try basket weaving for yourself. This small-group tour offers a rare glimpse into the Mekong’s quiet side — where nature, tradition, and slow travel come together.

A Wonderful Mekong Delta Experience

We took a boat through the nature reserve, surrounded by endless floating plants and countless wild birds. It was a truly unique experience unlike anything I had experienced before. Afterwards, we took a relaxing break and enjoyed a variety of tropical fruits and fresh juices. We also visited a family workshop where traditional bamboo baskets are handmade. The family was incredibly warm and welcoming, and their daughter even spoke a little Japanese. It was a wonderful experience to try making a basket ourselves and spend time with them. Finally, I would like to thank our guide, Nhung. She was kind, friendly, and thoughtful throughout the entire tour. Her knowledge and hospitality made this day even more memorable. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience. 自然保護区ではボートに乗り、一面に広がる水草や、その上を自由に飛び回る野鳥たちを間近に眺めました。これまでにない、とても印象的な体験でした。 その後は、さまざまな南国のフルーツやフレッシュジュースでひと休み。 さらに、竹かごづくりの工房も訪れました。作り手のご家族はとても気さくで、娘さんは少し日本語も話してくださり、和やかな時間を過ごすことができました。実際に制作も体験させていただき、とても楽しいひとときでした。 そして、このツアーを案内してくださったNhungさんは、終始親しみやすく丁寧で、本当に素晴らしいガイドでした。おかげで、メコンデルタでの一日がより特別な思い出になりました。

Fantastic day and calm moments with Niou. We enjoyed seeing the mekong and the nature without trash. The reserve is beautiful (mangrove, rice land, birds,etc.) We made some steps of a big bamboo basket.). Niou speaks english very well and is very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend this tour.

Back to nature

Really nice couple of hours out of town and back in nature. I recommend taking the early morning tour because we had the reserve to ourselves which was great! Celina was an informative guide. The craft village was not what I had expected and it was a sobering experience to see how locals really live and work.

Amazing tour with excellent guide

We did the floating market full day tour with Nhung, and added on visit to the bamboo village. This was one of the best tours we've done, Nhung was an amazing guide from the minute we started. She was funny, informative, well organised and very accommodating to our needs, we enjoyed the whole day we spent with her. The floating and land markets were very interesting and we really enjoyed the peaceful boat trip to the nature reserve. Lunch was a very delicious fish hot pot. The noodle and bamboo villages were very interesting and we were able to experience these first hand. We strongly recommend Nhung as a tour guide and hope to see her again very soon :)

We had a fantastic and educational trip with Nga as our guide. We left early in the morning, which is highly recommended as there were no other tourists. Nga provided us and our three children with insight into the locals' work with basket weaving and then a boat trip through the water-filled canals. We can only give our highest recommendations for this trip and for Nga as a guide. Best regards, the Schou Nielsen family from Denmark.

Instead of 7.15 we are 6.15 am picked up from our hotel. Good choice because the morning light is beautiful. Seen a lot of storks. Thi our guide could tell us a lot about the fauna.

Fairytale landscape

Beautiful experience, the boat ride in a magical place, we saw a lot of birds and especially storks. Even small children enjoyed the boat, the visit to the rice fields and the short walk. Nhung, the guide, was great with both us and the kids.

Operator response

Hi Francesco, Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted that your family had a wonderful time on our tour and thank you for the extra booking (floating market tour). I hope your family has a memorable trip in Vietnam and nice flight back to Italy. Best Regard, Serene Wanderlust Tour Team.
